10A vs 15A vs wall charger

Which charger do you need?

Most Australians drive about 30–40 km a day. Any option below replaces that overnight; the difference is how much headroom you get for longer days.

OptionPowerRange per hour10 hours overnightInstall neededTypical cost
10A portable2.3 kW~13 km~130 kmNone. Existing power point (own circuit preferred)$179
15A portable3.45 kW~19 km~190 kmDedicated 15 A/20 A outlet by a licensed electrician$239 + outlet install

Estimates at 230 V, 90% efficiency, 16 kWh/100 km. Wall charger pricing is a typical single-phase installed range from Australian industry estimates; your quote depends on your switchboard and cable run.

Safety basics

Portable EV charger safety: what an electrician checks

A car draws its full rated current for 10+ hours straight. That is a harder job than almost anything else you plug into a house, so the basics matter.

✕

Adapt a 15A plug into a 10A socket

The larger earth pin exists so a 15 A load can't go into a 10 A outlet. Adapters that defeat it are widely sold online. Use a genuine 10 A plug or a tail-swap kit instead.

✕

Use powerboards or extension leads

They aren't built for hours of continuous load. Plug the charger straight into the wall, and stop if the plug or outlet feels hot.

✓

Check for the RCM mark

EV chargers sold in Australia must be registered under the EESS and ACMA schemes. CE or TÜV marks alone don't count here.

✓

Get older wiring looked at

In older homes, an outlet sharing a circuit with the fridge or a heater, or ageing rubber-insulated cable, is the weak link. A dedicated EV circuit fixes both.

Before you buy a 15A charger

You'll need a dedicated 15 A outlet

A 15A charger's plug only fits a 15 A (or 20 A) outlet, and most homes don't have one. Getting one installed is a job for a licensed electrician. In Victoria they must be a Registered Electrical Contractor, and they'll give you a Certificate of Electrical Safety when it's done. We don't do installs ourselves. Not sure you need one?

Questions

Portable EV charging FAQ

Can I charge an EV from a normal power point in Australia?

Yes. A portable Mode 2 charger with a 10 A plug works from a standard Australian power point and adds roughly 10–13 km of range per hour. Plug straight into the wall, never into a powerboard or extension lead, and ideally use an outlet on its own circuit.

What is the difference between a 10A and a 15A portable EV charger?

A 10 A charger delivers about 2.3 kW (around 13 km per hour). A 15 A charger delivers about 3.45 kW (around 19 km per hour), roughly 50% faster, but it needs a dedicated 15 A or 20 A outlet installed by a licensed electrician.

Is it safe to use a 15A to 10A adapter for an EV charger?

No. Adapting a 15 A plug down to a 10 A socket defeats the plug design that stops a 10 A outlet being overloaded. Use a charger with a genuine 10 A plug or a tail-swap kit where the charger detects the tail and limits current itself.

How long does a portable charger take to charge an EV?

Taking a Tesla Model Y RWD (about 60 kWh) from 20% to 80% takes about 17 hours on 10 A and about 12 hours on 15 A. Most drivers top up overnight instead: 10 hours on 15 A adds roughly 190 km.

What does RCM mean on an EV charger?

The Regulatory Compliance Mark shows the equipment is registered for sale in Australia under the electrical safety (EESS) and ACMA schemes. Overseas marks such as CE or TÜV alone do not meet Australian requirements.

Do I need an electrician to install a 15A outlet for EV charging in Victoria?

Yes. Installing an outlet is prescribed electrical work in Victoria, so it must be done by a licensed electrician who issues a Certificate of Electrical Safety.

Will a portable charger work with a Tesla Model Y or BYD?

Yes. Tesla, BYD, MG, Kia, Hyundai, Geely, Zeekr and Polestar models sold new in Australia use the Type 2 AC inlet, so any Type 2 portable charger fits. Older Nissan Leafs (2012–2018) and pre-2022 Outlander PHEVs use Type 1.

Should I buy a portable charger or a wall charger?

If you drive under about 150 km a day, a 15 A portable charger usually covers it overnight for a fraction of the cost. A 7 kW wall charger (typically $1,200–$2,300 installed) suits long daily drives, two EVs, or charging from solar.

Why are your prices lower than Bunnings, Harvey Norman or EVSE Australia?

We only sell online and our suppliers dispatch straight from their Australian stock, so there's no showroom or warehouse in the price. You get the exact same model and part number, with the same manufacturer's warranty. We last checked every Australian retailer selling these models on 4 November 2026. See the price check.
